Well it has been awhile since my last post so I thought I would catch everyone up on what has been going on. I post a lot on facebook but some of my family don't get a chance to go on there.

Right now everyone is healthy, Knock on wood. Elizabeth had her Tonsils out on November 19th. The first 8 days were awful she would not eat or drink, She got so dehydrated from not drinking I had to take her to the ER November 23rd. I can understand the not eating because her throat was sore but I tried everything I could to get her to drink, She was so week and so pale I was worried about her. So we took her in and she was dehydrated they hooked her up to an IV and gave her fluids and she looked so much better she really needed that extra push to get her going. Of course the next day I fight her again to drink even a small amount. For eight days it was a fight. I am so glad that is over and she is back to herself eating and drinking again.

On Thanksgiving day Logan had so many seizures. It was very scary his lips were blue and his sats were very low with a very high heart rate. I almost rushed him to the ER that's how bad I was freaking out. He continued to have them all day I tried giving him pedialyte and he would not keep anything in. He took a few naps on the floor because the seizures really wore him out. We go back to the Neurologist on December 12th to have a 24 EEG at home. Hopefully they can Diagnose him with what type of Seizures he is having.

He woke up Thanksgiving morning and was fine I gave him a bath got him dressed he played with his sisters for about 15 min. Then all of a sudden he starts to lay on the floor and does not move and just stares out into space. Richard picks him up and brings him down stairs and we put him on the couch and he is so limp and pale and will not move and now his lips are starting to turn blue I check his sats and his heart rate was 220 and his O2 Sat was 73. At first I thought it was his heart them I realized he was having a seizure.
This went on for most of the day. And by the end of the night around 7:30 after laying around all day taking naps he just snaps out of it gets up and starts running around like nothing ever happened. I did some research online and found other toddlers that experienced the same thing as Logan. So we will just have to wait and see what the Doctor has to say.

Logan had his EEG on Monday and we went yesterday to get the results and I was shocked and sad to hear them say his test did not go well. It showed him having a lot of activity (seizures) in the 26 minutes that he was asleep. She showed me all of the spikes and there was a lot. His Seizures are happening at night and who knows how long this has been going on for she could not tell me. Ever since he came home from the Hospital when he was three months old, he has been waking up several times during the night. I asked her could this have been because of the seizures she said probably. He wakes up every night 1-2 times. I thought it was because he was having night terrors, Now to find out it was him having a seizure. She put him on Keppra 2x a day 1.7 ml for one week. Then we up it to 2.5ml 2x a day and see how he does. If he is still waking up during the night he will have to be monitored at home with a device on his head while he is sleeping at night.

When she told me all of this I was so shocked I could not believe it, I was expecting her to say we did not find anything wrong. On the way home I had tears in my eyes. There are side affects to this drug so I am hoping everything will be ok with him. We go back in 4 weeks for another check up.

It's been awhile since I have posted pictures I will try and do this next week.
Thanks for checking in on our family.

Everything is going good on our front. Logan has not had anymore seizures since his last episode. We see the Neurologist next Wednesday for his EEG.

It has been a month since I last posted. So wanted to say that the kids had a great first day of school. Everyone likes there teachers. The girls are now taking the Bus to and from school so we decided to buy them a cell phone, which I said we would never do. But they wanted to start taking the bus so I felt more comfortable with them having a phone on them. They each have one now. I was wanting to wait for Christmas but it was just to far off. They have been very responsible with it so far.
Logan also takes the bus to and from school. They come right to our house for pick up and drop off. So I love that part.

We bought a new computer we were sick of our old one we had since 2006. So I love our new one. It runs great. We still are using the other computer, the girls play on it. So it is nice having two computers, well nice for me anyway now I can print more coupons :)

Since the girls have started school they have been busy every weekend with birthdays and sleep overs. They have another Birthday party to go to on Monday which I think is kind of weird to have it on a school night it is from 5:45 till 8pm. So they will be going to that one to.
Elizabeth has a Check up with her Asthma Doctor today. Other than that no much has been going on just busy with school and lots of homework.

Thanks for checking in on our family.

A lot has been going on this week. But the worse of it is that Logan had his first Seizure on Sunday. It was very scary. He was so unresponsive it really scared us all. He is doing so much better now.

Monday we went to get his 4 YR shots he was due to have 4 of them but because of the seizure the Doctor only gave him 2 and we go back in 2 months to get the other 2. Tuesday morning Logan woke up with a fever of 101 and was pretty much that way the rest of the day, It was because of his shots. He never gets a fever after shots but this time he did, I think it may have been the type of shot he got.

Tuesday we went to see his Neurologist Dr. Maller she is the best Alicia saw her when she had her seizure's when she was younger and Maller really took care of her. The Doctor wants Logan to have an EEG and the soonest they can get him in is September 13th. I was like that is really far off, but the Doctor said it was not urgent. Of course I disagree.

Wednesday we went to see his Cardiologist Dr. Acherman. Logan had an EKG and an Echo everything looked good, his valve is still leaky but is very mild. His next Hearth Cath will not be until 2015 so I am very excited about that.

Today we went to Precision Orthotics do get measured for special shoes so he can wear over his SMO's. I found a cute blue pair they are on back order so I will be getting them the second week of September.

Tomorrow is Open House at the school where we get to meet the teachers and drop off school supplies. The kids start school on Monday I am really excited for them. The girls will be going into 5th grade and Logan will be in his second year of Pre-School.

That pretty much sums up my stressful week. Thanks for checking in on our family

So I am going to try and get better on posting on my blog more often I promise.

The girls had there friend Alexis spend the night the last 2 nights so tonight it is time for her to go home. They have had a fun past couple of days playing.

Sunday Richard and I will be Celebrating our 12 Year Anniversary, I tell Richard 12 long agonizing years...lol but if he can put up with me then he is a pretty amazing husband. We plan on going to the movies and a nice dinner.

Logan slept in till 10am this morning that is the longest he has ever slept, I could not believe it. So I decided to make him 2 waffles with butter and syrup trying to add on extra calories and he ate almost all of it. So no G-Tube feeding for breakfast I am so excited YEAH for Logan. So we will see what happens for lunch...

Last week we went to R.C. Willey and looked around for Bedroom Furniture and ended up buying a new Dresser 2 night stands and a new King size Temper-Pedic Bed we love it and sleep so much better, our other Mattress was 12 years old we bought it when we got married so it was time for a new one.

Here are some cute pictures of Logan being goofy, I promise to get pictures of his Birthday very soon. Thanks so much for checking in on our family.... Oh sorry for the spacing, I have tried to fix so many times but Blogger will not cooperate so any suggestions would be great.

This Summer has just flown by the kids go back to School Monday August 29th. I can not believe the girls will be starting 5th Grade and Logan will be in his second year of Preschool. The ,kids are getting so big and growing up so fast gosh I feel old.


It has been awhile since I last blogged so I will try and catch up on everything. I do most of my posting on Facebook. The second week of July we went to California and spent time with my family we went to Huntington Beach and spent the entire day there the next day was spent in Redlands at Pharaoh's Adventure Park they have an awesome water park we all had so much fun, Logan loved it.


I had to take Logan to the Orthopedic Doctor because he is not walking properly he has been walking on the inside of his arch so they made Special Orthopedic Shoes for him they should be ready nest week.


Logan has been doing really good. His Heart is doing great no problems at all we see his Cardiologist in 2 weeks for a check up everything should go fine. He is talking so much more and eating more by mouth. He still gets his G-Tube feedings every three hours but he is getting less milk.


Logan turned 4 Yesterday and we celebrated his Birthday on Sunday some friends came over and helped us celebrate. He was so excited to open up his presents. He really is our little miracle :)


The girls are doing great, been busy hanging out with there friends. Richard is still working a lot of hours. We will celebrate our 12 year Anniversary this Friday. We will be going out with no kids so I am looking forward to that :)


Thanks for checking in on our family. I will post pictures of Logan's Birthday later, Richard took the pictures and they did not turn out at all. So I will be getting some pics from my Mom.

Our Neighbor Hosted this year's 4th July Party and Brad you did such a great job we had so much fun. There was so much food and a lot of people showed up to enjoy the fireworks. We started at 8:30 and stopped at midnight Our entire street lit up the sky, It was a blast.

Logan did not do so good when the Fireworks started he just cried and screamed. So I ended up going home giving him a quick bath and put him to bed he slept through the entire thing I could not believe he did not wake up.

The kids had a great time, I always enjoy hanging out with our friends and neighbors. It was hot and really humid.



I have a funny story to tell you.

Richard wanted to let off some fireworks during the day on the 4th so we were all out front, but for some reason Logan wanted to go inside the house through the garage door he walks in the house and locks it then walks through the laundry room door which leads to the family room and he shuts the door. Well after doing this he can not open the door because there is a safety handle on it. So after a few minutes of him walking in I wanted to go check on him I try to open the door and it would not open I yell at Logan to unlock it (he knows how now) and nothing, I hear no noise so I start to freak out because all of the doors in the house are locked and all of the keys are inside the house. Richard jumps the gate to get in the back yard and he see's Logan sitting on the rocking chair with his hands behind his head and he's watching Spong Bob. (can you believe that stinker) So Richard try's to get Logan's attention to come over to the sliding door to try and get him to unlock it, after 10 minutes Logan finally unlocks the back sliding door. Richard comes out and tells me what happened and I start busting up laughing. Needless to say we went to Home Depot and had a key made and hid it in the garage so this does not happen again.
